Question [CLICK ON ANY CHOICE TO KNOW THE RIGHT ANSWER]
I am a unicellular prokaryote that lives in extreme environments. What kingdom do I belong to?
A
archaebacteria
B
eubacteria
C
fungi
D
None of the above
Explanation: 

Detailed explanation-1: -Archaebacteria belong to the Domain Archaea and are single-celled organisms that tend to live in extreme environments, like hot springs or in high-salt regions.

Detailed explanation-2: -Archaebacteria are known to be the oldest living organisms on earth. They belong to the kingdom Monera and are classified as bacteria because they resemble bacteria when observed under a microscope.

Detailed explanation-3: -Archaeans may be the only organisms that can live in extreme habitats such as thermal vents or hypersaline water. They may be extremely abundant in environments that are hostile to all other life forms.

Detailed explanation-4: -To their surprise they discovered unicellular (one cell) organisms in the samples. These organisms are today classified in the kingdom, Archaebacteria. Archaebacteria are found in extreme environments such as hot boiling water and thermal vents under conditions with no oxygen or highly acid environments.

Detailed explanation-5: -Archaea are unicellular, prokaryotic microorganisms that differ from bacteria in their genetics, biochemistry, and ecology. Some archaea are extremophiles, living in environments with extremely high or low temperatures, or extreme salinity.
